The Shift is on

Date of Prophecy: 2010

On Sunday November 15, 2009, we drove a peg through our pulpit as a prophetic sign that we have shifted!Let’s reflect on the mantle that is on Canada. The maple leaf on our Canadian flag represents healing for the nations and the foundation of Canada was built on the Word of God by God fearing men.So here are some questions to ponder at this time in history:
What is the sphere of authority that is operating in our land and how are we aligning with that sphere? What are we aligning ourselves to? Is your authority lining up with the Kingdom of God?Let’s look at 6 things:

1. Do we have a cause? Are we being driven by it? It’s time to shift from being needy to moving in our God-given authority. A Pastoral mindset is meet my needs, meet my needs, meet my needs, but God is raising up governmental authority in the land. We are moving from the Empire Spirit of building our own kingdoms to a Kingdom Spirit where we enforce and represent the Kingdom of God.

2. Authority is released. Authority is what gives you the right to act within a kingdom system. 1Corinthians 15:23 says, “But each in his own rank and turn: Christ (the Messiah) [is] the firstfruits, then those who are Christ’s [own will be resurrected] at His coming.” It all started in Genesis 1:26-28 when God gave man complete authority and dominion over all the earth.

3. The Church is our stronghold, a place where God rules and reigns, not just a place of need. In 2 Samuel 5:17 it says, “When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went up to find [him], but [he] heard of it and went down to the stronghold.” God wants each of us to rule and reign, not just have “our best life now.” Our city has been lying in ruins too long and He needs us, as His ambassadors, to reinforce what He has already done! Church must be a place of strengthening, a place of alignment where God lines us up with the plumbline of His justice and righteousness. God loves us and disciplines those He loves. Yes, it hurts when He shifts us, but God is resurrecting the ashes of destruction. We are to be a city set on a hill. Our light is to shine bright in the cities, regions and nations of our world.

4. Mountains and Valleys form our society. The gateways of authority in our land include:

Media/Communications

Religion

Entertainment/Arts

Government/Politics

Commerce

Education

Sports

We need to become the Gateway to release God’s authority in these realms to influence our society. Psalm 24:7 says, “Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in.”

5. Freedom! Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty and Freedom! God has given us the Spirit of Might to function in the Kingdom of God. We must go forth and displace kings in the natural realm and let the chips lie where they fall. Daniel 2:44 says, “And in the days of these [final ten] kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be let to another people; but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms and ii shall stand forever.”6. God is not going to waste His assets any longer. We are in a shift and Empires are coming down. God has given us a destiny to govern and rule and reign. Isaiah 22:15-24 tells us what will happen when we enforce God’s Kingdom. God wants to fasten us like a peg in a firm place and hang upon us His Kingdom power, authority and dominion! This is what will bring glory to our Father’s House, this is what will effect the next generation.We must operate in God’s Kingdom with power, authority and dominion. It’s time for us to take our place. The shift is on as Apostles arise in the body of Christ. His government is being established. Revelation 11:15 says, “The seventh angel then blew [his] trumpet, and there were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion (kingdom, sovereignty, rule) of the world has now come into the possession and become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (the Messiah), and He shall reign forever and ever (for the eternities of the eternities)!”It’s time for us to arise and shift to a new level – to rule and reign from the stronghold of Christ’s church. Don’t get stuck in neutral because you won’t have any traction and you’ll start rolling backwards. It’s time for us to stand up – we have an inheritance and in that inheritance we have been given all authority. We must keep building ourselves up in our inheritance! Satan would like for you to forget about your inheritance so you would never realize your place of authority or power or dominion in Jesus Christ. Satan knows that when you realize what you have been given, then that power you walk in would make you absolutely dangerous to him!

God has something new for you. In 2Kings 4 God talks about provoking the miracles of God and provoking God’s power because God is the God of wonders.

14 years…2 cycles of 7. God works in cycles of 7 and we have gone through 2 cycles. Just like Jacob, it was 7 years and he needed to be fragile in God’s hand to be used in a mighty way. Something special is about to happen as we finish this 2nd cycle. We are about to enter a new cycle!

In the first year of a cycle God places you. It’s a year of discipleship where God calls you and the cycle begins.

When God created the earth He started a cycle of 7. The earth was void and empty. When God called Jacob he had bad habits. God had to deal with him. God is going to do something different and new!

Leviticus 19:23 says God sees us as trees and wants us to have fruit. We must be pruned so there is a cycle for each tree. The 1st year talks about circumcision, the fruit is bitter and should not be eaten. The fruit that falls from the tree is called uncircumcised. The fruit might look beautiful but it is for you – not to be eaten by others yet. It is for our own good. God deals with you, God wants to change us into a vessel for His glory.

1 Year – Discipleship – sit and learn, leave the fruit to rest, God is going to cleanse the heart soil
2 Year – Servant hood – Listen
3 Year – Friendship – Uncircumcised Fruit
4 Year – Opportunity – Luke 13 talks about the Fig Tree
5 Year – Establishment – things begin to change, you must not give up, you must not stop, you must finish the cycle, don’t get stuck! God enables you to endure, and then you are ready for the 6 year
6 Year – Good Leadership, year of the Harvest, great multitudes, leaders you can trust
7 Year – Refreshing, Revival, Provoke Miracles

The cycle that is coming carries DNA that we must put to work in our life. Just like the 7 churches in Revelation each church represented a historical period. In this new cycle we are starting out with experience and knowledge. Just like Joseph, it took years for his dreams to come to pass, but he stayed the course. Jacob had the promise and wrestled with God then he was ready to fulfill the dream. God has fresh oil for this region! God is provoking miracles in these places!

In the book of 2 Kings, it tells us about the prophet Elijah.

The woman went to Elijah (there is always a covering)
1. Call out to God – Go to your Pastors and Leaders
2. In order for miracles to happen there has to be a great need
3. We need to cry out in anguish, get desperate!
4. You always have something to give to God – she had an empty vessel.

How many of you are ready for fresh oil?

This new cycle has waves and waves coming, times of refreshing, waves of My Spirit says the Lord, and everything shall prosper! God has given you the experience, the foundation and the power to bear My glory!
